A free‐standing polysaccharide nanosheet prepared by using a spin‐coating‐assisted layer‐by‐layer method is transferred from silicone rubber onto human skin (see figure) by fabricating a three‐layered ‘nano‐adhesive plaster' involving a water‐soluble sacrificial layer. By using this novel technique, conventional ultrathin films can be made without the need for a solid substrate.
